Microsharp GRIN 2 film incorporated into Liquavista's prototype reflective displays shown at SID 2006
Liquavista (www.liquavista.com) is a new VCbacked spin out from Philips Research, developing products based on low power very high brightness reflective displays which are also capable of video rate switching. The electrowetting technology uses coloured dyes which can be electrically moved to cover or uncover pixels, allowing richly coloured, fully reflective displays. Microsharp's Graded Index diffuser film technology - GRIN - is uniquely suited to enhancing the brightness of reflective displays, as fully detailed in Microsharp pending patent EP1290490.
Using its second generation GRIN film technology (RiffixTM) Microsharp created tailored GRIN optical films for Liquavista to enhance their QVGA active matrix colour and monochrome displays which were displayed at SID 2006.
